Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, December 15, 2013

Welcome to my post for What's Blooming Now.   To see what is blooming in other people's gardens or houses now, go to hostess Carol's May Dreams Gardens website.  GBBD finds not much blooming here outdoors after a week at temperatures around 10*F.  So here are some indoor blooms.   A plant I really enjoyed this year, Browallia americana, bloomed so well I brought one plant in to my aquaponics bed.  It has slowed down but is still blooming-

My faithful little Geranium is blooming, though a little over the hill-

A new red Cyclamen, these I find hard to keep alive indoors-


Last week my Epiphyllum angulier, Ric Rac Orchid Cactus, bloomed, a rare occurence-



Thanks for visiting, Hannah

  2. A week of 10F - now that's cold! It is 29F here this morning, expected high near 50F, with a few days of sunshine before rain starts again.
    Really good to have such cheerful blooms indoors!
    Have a wonderful week!

    1. Thanks, Lea, things have warmed up, and we managed to have dry enough weather during the cold spell that there wasn't much ice danger. The poultry and rabbit outdoors were not too happy, though, we had to put lights on them.

  6. So nice to have so many colorful blooms indoors on these cold days! I've always had trouble keeping cyclamen indoors, too, but love those little sweet flowers. Happy Bloom Day!

  7. I'll see if I can do better. They seem to be very touchy about watering just right.
